A
breeze
Pedals fall from the flower
A touch of airy waves
Burdens go away
Sea is soft
Wave is humming
Surf is drumming
And roaring.
Dreams are broken
Behind the rocks
Crabs run into the holes
Cancer and Capricorn unite
On the shore of eternity
Beaks touching each other
A nest
Birds sleep in harmony
Wind cannot take it away
A den
Lion and goat live in unison
In a William Blakes Night
Leopard blushes
At sheeps sight
As water was
When it saw its Lord
Distance is wiped
Time is rubbed off
From the slate of eternity
Infinite cannot be reduced
Neither be increased
Nothing taken from it
Nothing added to it
Quails fly on fences
Ivies spread on them
Fruits are forbidden
The mendicant runs away
Still the minstrel sings
Songs of stormy petrel
In passive curiosity
Buddy awakes from slumber
Oh! I am rheumatic,
Grout my knees
Groins ache
Loins in despair
No potion to cure
Fairy pours lily juice
Into his sleepy eyes
Sprite sings
Love into his chest
Soul to soul
He soars up
Till he falls to Heaven
Into the lap of Beatrice
And the clasp of Leila
Earthen love is cruel enough.
